[Needham Public Schools Superintendent's Update]

Dear Parents and Guardians:

•  Budget Update  At its first meeting of the school year, the School
Committee reviewed a draft document outlining general budget guidelines
and priorities for the school year 2011-12 (Fiscal Year '12).  Even though
it seems early in the year to be discussing the budget process and
priorities for next year, the development of the budget plan requires
several months of work, and the priorities help guide the development of a
thoughtful budget.

The School Committee welcomes input, comments, and suggestions about the
FY12 budget priorities before they vote on a final document at their
October 5, 2010 meeting.  You may read about the budget process and
priorities here: [ http://npssuperintendent.blogspot.com/
]Superintendent's Blog  Please submit written comments via email to
schoolcommittee at needham.k12.ma.us or you may post a comment if you wish. 
In addition, members of the community are welcome to provide feedback
directly to the School Committee at its meeting scheduled for September
21, 2010 at Broadmeadow during the Public Participation portion of the
meeting, beginning at 7:05 p.m.

•  School Committee Open House November 6th  The Needham School Committee
will hold its annual Open House, this year on Saturday, November 6th at
Newman during the annual [

from 9:00 a.m. until 10:30 a.m. and provides an informal opportunity for
the School Committee to hear from parents and community members.  Grab a
